Gaidar — architect of Russian free market economy
MOSCOW. Dec 5: Since he drew up the plans more than a year ago to fhove Russia to a free-market economy, Yegor T Gaidar has become the symbol of those reforms In the West, according to AP.
But the plump. 36-year-old acting prime minister also has become the target of the harshest attacks by legislative hard-liners, industrial managers and collective farm directors who oppose President Boris Yeltsin.
Along the way, Gaidar has matured from an academic whiz kid with no political experience into a shrewd Kremlin insider.
At the last session of the Congress of People's Deputies in April, Gaidar gave lucid explanation of his reform programme. And he .worked behind the scenes like a seasoned politician to win a compromise.
With his rapid-fire speaking style, he again delivered a rtmno defers* of hi" unponn-
lar and painful policies on Wednesday at the current Congress, keeping his cool in the face of jeering critics.
Congress speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov, a former Marxist economics professor, attacked Gaidar’s reforms on Tuesday and said even "common shepherds" knew the government had failed to support farming.
Gaidar, who holds a doctorate in economics, drew laughter from the deputies Wednesday when he countered With agricultural statistics that he said "apparently were not known by every professor."
Even Gaidar's opponents concede his economic expertise.
"I admit he's competent I just don't trust him," said Mikhail Astaftyev, one of the leaders of the hard-line Russian Unity faction, which Is trying to force Gaidar's resignation.
If his opponents don't trust him, the West does.
He met regularly this year
with former US Ambassador Bob Strauss, who reportedly coached him on how to deal with Washington.
In April. Gaidar lobbied successfully to get the world's seven richest democracies to
pledge 24 billion dollar in aid for Russia at a time when there were questions on whether Moscow was sincere about sticking to economic reforms.
US Treasury secretary Nicholas Brady described Goidar as an "enormously con-
vincing person."
A child of Russia's intelligentsia, Gaidar's grandfather was a famous author of children's literature and his father was a correspondent for Pravda. He speaks English, Spanish and Serbo-Croatian.
He worked as a researcher at the Soviet Academy of Sciences under Stanislav Shatalin, who was a co-author of the "500-Day" economic shock therapy plan that was ultimately rejected by Mikhail S Gorbachev.
In November 1991, Yeltsin appointed Gaidar deputy prime minister In charge of economic policy, selecting his reform programme as the road to lead Russia to the free mar ket.
The plan, which incorporated recommendations of the International Monetary Fund, was Implemented In January 1992. It ended decades of central economic planning, freeing prices while tightening fiscal policy.
After Gaidar served as finance and economics minister. Yeltsin appointed him acting prime minister “because Gaidar is leader of the reforms."
Gaidar has admitted to mistakes in his economic reform polices — mostly due to concessions granted to Russia's powerful industrial sector, which was granted billions of rubles In subsidies to falling factories.
He also has been forced to print more money and raise wages moves that have edged Russia closer to hyperinflation
As living standards and tn dustrtal production have plummeted, Yeltsins foe* have focused their attacks on Galder
"The opposition attache* cardinal importance to the removal of Gaidar from hi* po*t," *ald Ilya Kon*tantinov, the leader of the hard-line National Salvation Front "1 will accept anyone — a* long a* Gaidar if not elected."
